Chapter: 2931

Observing Rachel's detached expression, the butler felt a strong impulse to confront her physically, to tear at her facade and delve into her heart to see if it was as dark as her actions suggested, to decipher why she was so distant and unfeeling. Her heart seemed as impenetrable as stone, its contents a mystery.

Rachel faced the incensed the butler.

“Why do you say such things? Alberto hasn't wronged me, and I haven't wronged him either. Life is like that; it doesn't mean we must love each other. Why are you so insistent?"

Rachel's voice was notably indifferent.

"If you wish to scold me, proceed. Regardless, I won't return to Alberto's side, and your harsh words don't affect me. I only hope you'll convey to him that the best way to recover from hurt is to live better than the person who caused it. This is the only way he can truly unsettle that person, rather than degrading himself to a point where no one respects him."
